A Dead Whale Productions starts off its Season of Mischief with Kevin Michael Wesson's Where We Go Together or The Flashlight Play, directed by Daniella Wheelock. Performances begin July 19, 2018 and will run through August 4, 2018. All performances of Where We Go Together or The Flashlight Play will be held at Nox Arca Theatre, 4001 N. Ravenswood Ave #405. More information about the show, tickets, and A Dead Whale can be found online at www.adeadwhaleproductions.com.
Where We Go Together or the Flashlight Play stars Christina Jones, Ryan Jendrycki, and Marc Prince in their A Dead Whale debuts as three rebellious thespians who eagerly break into a dark theatre to reclaim their voices and share their stories... even if they aren't sure where or how to start... or if they've brought enough batteries for their flashlights. The production will be directed by Daniella Wheelock, and company member Devin Sanclemente joins as production assistant. Where We Go Together or The Flashlight Play opens Thursday, July 19th at 7:30pm, and runs July 20, 21, 26-28, and August 2-4 at 7:30pm.
